I think I want to get hitched.

My younger sister is 19 years old, and she just got engaged a few days ago. She’s still very young, I know. But, I would rather not say anything to discourage her but instead give her my own words of advice and to let her know that I’m here to support her whatever happens. (I eloped with my ex boyfriend when I was 17 so I really can’t tell her not to do it because of that.)

Well, chatting with her and her fiance about the wedding..made me think that I want to get married too. Who doesn’t, right? But I don’t want a wedding that’s super grandiose (as is the custom here in the Philippines). I want a wedding that’s garish but with only our families and closest friends. I want a stunning venue complete with beautifully arranged flowers, delectable food, and of course, the perfect bridal gown. I imagine my little Sab being our flower girl, and little Sanjo as the ring bearer. So cute! My Bubby hasn’t formally proposed yet, but being that we have been living together and I got pregnant, the talk about a wedding just came out naturally. We didn’t want to rush it though. I didn’t want to get married just because I’m already pregnant. This may sound oh so cheesy and oh so cliche, but I want to get married because I love the person. Period.  We both wanted a beach wedding, or something to that effect. We both love the beach, even Sab, so it’s nothing short of perfect if we could have our wedding on the beach.

I don’t know when we will get married..maybe 2011 or 2012. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed I get to say “I do” before I hit the big 3-0. (*Ahem!*)
